This thread is part of the online component of the Occupy-Commons strategy conversation at the OWS Forum on the Commons in New York, February 16-18, 2012 described here.

Thinking of a possible, Commons-inspired strategy as guidance to support wise choices in our daily work in and around the Occupations, prompts such questions as:

What new possibilities can we see when we look at Occupy through the “Commons” lens? What does it suggest about better ways to govern and manage our various kinds of common pool resources”?

What are the commonalities in Occupy and Commons, in terms of principles, systems and processes of co-production and co-governance? Are Elinor Ostrom‘s design principles relevant to the Occupy movement?

What are examples of good practices in existing commons (in and outside Occupy) for personal accountability, as in “letting other members know what they can count on me for”?

How does a healthy dynamics of local/global decision-making look like and what can we learn from the dynamics of managing local and global commons?

Do those questions speak to you? What are yours? What do you think, where should we start our exploration of them?
